Read more about sulfite allergies and wine at Cleveland Clinic. PureWine is a small business that specializes in wine accessories. Promising review: "What a difference these have made in my life. With my allergies, it was impossible to enjoy a glass or two of wine without nasty side effects: stuffy nose, red face, and headaches. Now, I can have a glass of wine and not have to dart to a package of antihistamine! Makes a great gift. Even thinking of splitting a box into stocking stuffers. Each wand is individually wrapped. Have purchased these several times and will continue to do so." —KellyH Get a set of three from Amazon for $11.99 (available in packs of eight, 30, 48 and 72). You can also use it on elbows, knees, and sensitive hands. After writing about this a couple of times and feeling pressure from my very dry toesies after showering, I decided to give this a try, and y'all, I'm a convert for LIFE. I am terrible about moisturizing my feet after I shower, but because I live in such a dry climate, it can become v painful if I don't. What I really love about this is the applicator. It makes it so easy to get around my feet evenly. Here's the thing, though — it's not greasy, but it can still be slippery if you're walking around barefoot on the ground right after you put it on. So, I make sure to give it a few minutes to absorb, or I keep my slippers close if I have to get up right after putting it on. But it has truly been a game-changer for me. My feet feel so much softer, and the moisture lasts throughout the day! Best under-$10 purchase I've made this year. Promising review: "This is a really great product. It’s very easy and convenient to use, and I like the stick format because it’s clean and simple to apply. It has a nice, pleasant scent that is not too strong. After using it regularly, my skin, especially on my heels, became much softer and smoother. I’m really happy with the results and overall very satisfied with this product. I highly recommend it." —Zhanna Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (also available in a pack of two). Promising review: "Saves me from auto logouts! My brother recommended this handy gadget. I work from home and have three monitors. When I leave my desk for lunch, the computer goes to sleep, and when I come back, everything is logged out, and whatever was on three monitors ends up on two. SO frustrating. This is programmable for three settings, and I use it on the minimal movement, so when I come back, everything is just as I left it. Revolutionary! Just remember to turn it on!" —Isaiah Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in eight colors). UnbuckleMe is a family-owned small business that specializes in car seat accessories. You may have seen 'em featured on Shark Tank! Promising review: "OUTSTANDING! I am a young grandmother in my 50s and TIRED of breaking my nails on the car seat fasteners. Both my granddaughter and I LOVE this gadget. She keeps it tucked inside the pocket of her car seat. I never have to look for it. When we make it to our destination, I ask her to get it ready. In SECONDS the car seat is unbuckled. What a godsend! Truly, if we had been in an accident or other emergency, it would have taken me several attempts to free my granddaughter. I consider this a danger! This little device makes car seats enjoyable again. The color makes it easy to find and it fits logically right where it's supposed to...no need to carry instructions. I cannot say enough about this product and would recommend it to everyone." —Winnie Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in seven colors). An indicator light will turn on to let you know that the canister is full, and then you can remove it and dump everything in the trash. Promising review: "I absolutely love this magic floor sucker. I live in the Rocky Mountains with four large dogs and two cats. It makes sweeping not so bad and much more manageable. You just sweep it to the vac, and it sucks it up. LOVE IT." —Mary C Get it from Amazon for $169 (available in three colors). Read more about tea tree oil and acne at Mayo Clinic. Promising review: "This product is gentle on the skin, but strong enough to combat any buttock issues caused by stress, environmental issues, or whatever. Living in the Deep South, we sometimes have a condition called 'swamp butt.' Little red bumps like a rash or breakout can form in sensitive areas. Using this product once a day after showering...I've had ZERO bumps in over three months. It works. Doesn't smell the greatest, but it's tolerable, for sure. Great product." —Billie B Beblau is an Italy-based, family-owned small business specializing in products for digital nomads. Check out a TikTok of the laptop belt in action. Promising review: "This product is a lifesaver for a teacher on the go. I use it for my iPad Pro and my school issued laptop. I no longer drop things as I move place to place! Just the basics will fit, pen, cards, small writing tablet." —Elementary Techy Teacher Get it from Amazon for $29.90+ (available in black or gray). BuzzFeed Shopping editor Melanie Aman swears by it: "This stuff is MAGICAL. I have stick-straight Asian lashes that refuse to hold a curl with wetter mascara formulas. As a result, I have to use waterproof mascara, which is a total pain to remove at night. Instead of rubbing my eyes raw with makeup removers that burn, I apply this like mascara, let it sit for a few minutes, and my waterproof mascara MELTS. Then I go in with a micellar water–soaked cotton pad, and my mascara is gone in 1–2 passes." Promising review: "I was skeptical because I have always struggled with removing waterproof mascara 100% on the first wash/wipe. I applied it to both my lashes and then immediately washed my face with my normal cleanser, and I felt nothing on my lashes! Like, I never applied anything to them. I am amazed and in shock still from this magical formula and invention! Best creation ever!" —Chrisy Promising review: "For anyone who might be a skeptic, please allow me to put you at ease. If you have hyperhidrosis, meaning it can be 9 degrees outside and you're still sweating under your arms, this product has the potential to change your life. I would sweat THROUGH a sport coat before noon. Enter the Sweat Block product. I've had it for three weeks, and it is life changing. I DO NOT sweat under my arms anymore. I'm still on the original box that I bought three weeks ago. I had to write a review after I was cleaning the garage today in 85-degree heat...I was sweating through my shirt on my back...BUT NOT MY UNDERARMS. It is amazing!" —Frosty McGee Get a 10-count box from Amazon for $19.97+ (also available in packs of two or three boxes). This can be great, especially if you're staring at the TV for hours on end. It has 15 colors and 10 brightness levels, plus three fade modes. Promising reviews: "Don’t mess around with the other lights with complicated remotes and colors, just get a warm 6500 white, and plug it in. Easy. Some people say one strip across the back is fine...maybe if you have a small TV; if you have 55" or bigger, get one that is long enough for at least three sides. This light is a serious game changer, reduces eye stress, makes the contrast and blacks appear better, and the wow factor when people see it. You don’t have to tell anyone it was only $10!! Again, don’t waste money on colors and another remote to clutter your room; spend it on length. And get this light!!" —kristian suson Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in eight sizes). Promising review: "What a genius product. I absolutely love them. If you take the same medication, when you get your new prescription, just pour the pills into the bottle that you placed the tab strip on. It will literally last forever. So much more convenient than the pill boxes." —M C Zamarripa Get a pack of five from Amazon for $19.99 (available in blue or white and in a pack of two). Promising review: "My dry neck and the annoying itchiness I used to experience have completely gone away after using this cream. It’s not only soothing, but it also feels like it’s really nourishing my skin. The firming benefits are a bonus! I highly recommend this product to anyone dealing with dryness or discomfort in their neck and chest area. It’s become a must-have in my skincare routine." —La Bella Vita Finds Get it from Amazon for $11.89 (also available in a pack of three). Check out the brush cleaner in action on TikTok. Promising review: "I used to hate cleaning my makeup brushes because it was tedious and I was never able to get a thorough cleaning. This product changed that; cleaning my brushes has never been easier!!! The size is small enough to travel with, and I like that it is powered by a USB port so you don't always need a wall outlet. This product is an easy clean with its silicone bowl, and it gives my brushes the thorough, deep clean they need in under 5 minutes. I highly recommend this item!!!! You will thank yourself!" —Analisa Gomez Get it from Amazon for $23.59+ (available in three colors). And then all you have to do is peel it off when it's time for a replacement! Each one lasts about 1 to 3 months after installation depending on your home's allergens. Promising review: "I wasn't sure what to expect when purchasing these, but now they are a staple in every room of our house. Within three days the air smelled more crisp and was easier to breathe in our home. So simple and effective!" —Haylee Marez Get a three-pack from Amazon for $22.99. Promising review: "First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it. It was backordered, but then I got an email saying it was in stock, and I was SO excited. Not only is it affordable, but it's washable, which helps you save money and be less wasteful." —Kelsey B. JetBag is a small business specializing in creating bags to protect your wine and your stuff. Promising review: "I was a little nervous to transport alcohol back in my checked baggage after seeing how they fling things around without care, but these worked like a dream! Not one out of 6 (oops) bottles came back broken! Highly recommend!" —Melanie Get a set of three from Amazon for $15.99. Promising review: "I was extremely skeptical about this product actually working at first. I saw this on TikTok and started reading the comments, which were all positive reviews, so I decided to try. Let me just say I no longer have to awkwardly run to the bathroom after my fiancé and I do the dirty. This product works!" —brittany simmons Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $26.69 (also available in a pack of 10) Promising review: "This product is amazing. I used it for my chicken and dumplings recipe. I figured it was another one of those 'too good to be true' items, but this does everything it says it does. I literally shredded two large chicken breasts in seconds, yes SECONDS!! I wish I would’ve taken a video, but I didn’t. It didn’t move/slip from the counter, and it was perfection! Wow, just Wow!" —Ruthie K Voss Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in 11 colors). It can store between 12 and 24 ounces of guac and is made from a durable, shatter-proof plastic that is also BPA-free and dishwasher safe. Promising review: “The Guac Loc is absolutely amazing. It does everything it claims. I’ve had guacamole unopened for four days in it, and when I opened it up, it looked as fresh as the day I had made it and, more importantly, tasted just as fresh. This product may be a bit on the pricey side, but if you are a guacamole connoisseur, and make it on a regular basis, and don’t like wasting it, this is a no-brainer. It will save every savory, delectable bite for consumption. I couldn’t recommend this product more.” —Aaron Clark Check out a TikTok of the Airplane Pockets tray table cover in action. Airplane Pockets is a small business that specializes in sanitary, portable travel organization products. My colleague Emma Lord owns and loves this: "I used this on a roundtrip from NYC to Tokyo, both with connecting flights in Canada, and cannot sing its praises enough. It fit all four of the different tray tables I used it on and was so ridiculously handy for keeping track of all my littler odds and ends like AirPods, the plane's headphones, earplugs, a sleep mask, a book, gum, a scrunchie, and little snacks. The hanging end of it easily tucked into the built-in sleeve of the seat in front of me for takeoff and when other passengers needed to scoot past me in my aisle seat. Usually, I feel like a hot mess and get frustrated rooting around in the grimy sleeve for my stuff, and this was such a refreshing solution! Several flight attendants even asked where I got it to buy one for themselves!" Promising review: "Very useful, especially when traveling with kids. Provided easy access and storage to things like water bottle, hand sanitizer, snacks, wipes, headphones. I didn't have to access my carry-on." —JJ Read more about how dry brushing exfoliates and helps promote circulation at Cleveland Clinic. And read more about lymphatic drainage at the Cleveland Clinic, too. To use, use gentle, stroking motions in an upward direction following lymphatic pathways. Promising review: "I have been astounded by how nicely this has helped with drainage. My entire adult life, I have woken with a puffy face and a thick feeling in my throat that lasts for hours as I sip a hot beverage and clear my throat like I'm starting a cold engine.... Since starting to use this brush, I sip water while I brush and by the time I'm done, so is that thick pleghmy feeling! My skin is visibly lifted, and the bristles are so soft it almost feels like a massage. The handle is sturdy, and I'm very pleased with the quality considering the reasonable price. I tried it on my husband so he could feel the softness, and you could definitely see the difference from one cheek to the other!!! 😆" —Heather O'Sullivan Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (also available as a two-pack). Promising reviews: "Fantastic product, we use this now at our bar for vodka drinks and tequila. Works great, and the drinks are absolutely fantastic. They taste just like, if not better than, an upscale bar. We bought the cordless version, we’ve been using it for a month, and I haven't had to recharge it, not once." —Goose "I would like to say I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE this. This is very easy to use, looks great in my Diva Den, easy to clean, and drinks can be made at your choice of strength. Love this!" —Thick'ems Get it from Amazon for $199+ (available in four variations). Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines. Fellow BuzzFeed Shopping writer, Emma Lord, is ALL about these babies and says, "I've had one of these for a while, and I love it! I usually use an electric toothbrush, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively. I've switched to using this in the morning and the electric one at night and definitely see a difference in that area in particular." Promising review: "This was another one of my TikTok purchases! I was skeptical, but my kids hate flossing their teeth, soI thought this might help in between making them floss. They work amazing! My kids said they could see and feel a difference on the first use, and I agree! They are definitely worth a try! I would suggest not pushing too hard. Those tiny bristles really get in there, and if you push too hard, you might be sore like I was. It felt like after going to a dental cleaning." —Amy N. I neeeeeever thought I could become obsessed with a toothbrush, but I guess there's a first time for everything. First off, it's stunning. It's so sleek and high-tech looking. But what really sold me was the included UV-cleaning travel case and the never-ending battery life. As someone who feels like they've been living out of a suitcase recently, I love knowing that my toothbrush looks presentable (there's no grody toothpaste buildup around the head like with my old Sonicare one), and I can trust it won't die on me because the battery lasts for a month on a single charge! Also, I just recently had a teeth cleaning, and my hygienist noticed so much of a difference that she commented on it! Promising review: "I've been using a Sonicare for a while but was tempted to try Suri because of its lightweight footprint (both physically and ecologically). I'm blown away. This toothbrush packs a mighty punch for such a slim profile. It is super easy to take with you traveling, and the battery seems to last forever. Most importantly, the cleaning feels great. Most other slim-profile electric toothbrushes seem cheap, but this feels like a premium product. Suri, you have a convert!" —Andrew G Get it from Amazon for $134.99 (available in three colors). The kit includes the washer bottle and three disposable tips. Doctor Easy started 20 years ago with the invention of the Elephant Ear Washer by a doctor who saw the need for a better method of treating patients’ earwax impactions. Promising review: "Gross photos. My husband has had a lot of earwax impaction problems in his life, and up until this point, we have paid to have a professional take care of it. But recently, he suddenly lost about 80% of his hearing and just couldn't wait for an appointment, so we bought this item. From the reviews I have read, it was a particularly easy solution for my husband. Nasty huge chunks start falling out after just a couple of squirts. Cleared everything out, no problem. Highly recommend." —Tea Promising review: "It does the job it's supposed to do. I was cutting my hand trying to open cans. This allows me to get a better grip on the little loopy thing, and gives me leverage to open the can." —P. Alscher Get it from Amazon for $6.98 (also available in a three-pack). You can also switch between pound and kilogram measurements. Promising reviews: "I cannot imagine how we would have managed a big international trip without this. It saved us so much stress and, I’m sure, surprise charges at the airport." —Potter Freak "This scale works and was accurate on four flights. The first flight was a test at 46 pounds, and the Delta scales said it was 46 pounds. The next two flights were at 49 pounds, and both United and Delta found it to be 49 pounds. The bag on the fourth flight weighed 49, but the United scale found it to be 48 pounds. Four different airports and scales proved that this scale is a good, low-cost, must-have item for air travel." —Robert Get it from Amazon for $8.90+ (available in three colors and also a two-pack). If your shower isn't looking great right now, you can use this a few times in a row to get your shower shining brighter than a diamond, and then use it once a week for maintenance! Promising review: "This is the most effective cleaning product I've ever used, and I've been on this planet for six decades, so I've used them all. The scent is pleasant, and you just spray it on and let it do its thing*, no scrubbing required. (*If your shower is extremely dirty and has a lot of soap scum, you may need to apply two or three times initially, then only once a week afterward.) I have a white ceramic tile shower with a textured fiberglass floor and glass doors. After years of daily use, the fiberglass was horrible looking, and even repeated scrubbing with other cleaners didn't work. I used scrub brushes, magic erasers, you name it. Nothing worked. It was embarrassing. You can see in the one photo. I had just about given up when I tried Wet & Forget — sprayed it on one night, came in the next morning, and was stunned by how well it worked. I treated it a couple more times, and the embedded scum and dirt were gone. This is a 20-year-old shower, and now it looks brand new." —Barbara Get it from Amazon for $20.98 (available in fresh and vanilla scents). But don't just limit this hanging wizard to leggings. It can also be used with jeans, skirts, and shorts. Promising review: "Yes...I have too many clothes. I LOVE my leggings. These saved me soooo much room! Now I have much more space, AND I can see them all easier." —Larry Seymour Get a pack of two from Amazon for $10.41+ (available in five colors and in a singular pack or a pack of four). FryAway is a woman-owned and Latine-owned small business started by Laura Lady, who loves both cooking and being kind to the planet. They donate 1% of revenue to nonprofits focused on water conservation. Promising review:" I used to HATE cooking with oil because I never knew what to do with it when I was finished. Not anymore! This stuff works amazingly well, is easy to use, and allows me to trash oil without a big mess! It just takes a little scoop and a short amount of time for it to set into a gel, and then it all scoops out of the pan so easily! I’m just sad I didn’t find this product sooner!" —TheBjamin Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available for 8, 16, or 24 cups and in packs of three or 10). And there's a built-in groove for your legs to hang out comfortably. Promising review: "I work from home a few days a week, and every once in a while, my work extends into the evening hours. I have a home office, but sitting at my desk all day is sometimes very tiring. I purchased this big memory foam desk pillow so that I can relax on my couch and still put my laptop up and have a comfortable working area. This pillow is big but very comfortable. It has armrests that wrap around the sides of you, and they also have little pockets for random things like your cellphone or the remote, etc. It’s so nice to just lean back into my comfortable couch and have this big soft desk in front of me." —Jenn Butterfield Get it from Amazon for $49.79+ (available in small or large and in grey or dark grey). Check out a TikTok of the food cubby in action. Food Cubby is a small business specializing in family-friendly kitchen accessories. Promising review: "I love these! Even as an adult, I hate my food touching. Thought they might keep things apart, but not juices or things, but they really stick to the plate, and the meat juice doesn't run into the salad. It saves me from having different plates for each food. I wish I had these a long time ago." —Superbeckee Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.99 (available in green and clear). Souper Cubes is a family-run small business with a passion for better frozen meal prep and food waste reduction! Plus, their products are BPA-free, dishwasher-safe, and have fill lines on the side of the compartments for half and full cups. Promising review: "LOVE LOVE LOVE. My freezer is so much more organized now. Gone are the days of having to defrost an entire bag of chicken broth for one cup for a recipe. I now have perfectly portioned 1/2-cup and 1-cup blocks ready to go. They fit easily in freezer bags, take up less space, and make me incredibly happy. There was a lot of attention to detail put into the design, and I particularly appreciate the wire inside the rim that holds everything steady — no more worrying about spilling all the liquid on the way to the freezer. Just a fantastic product all around. I purchased this and a cheaper version from another manufacturer at the same time, but returned the other product. This one is definitely worth the added cost." —Kate Get it from Amazon for $21.99 (available in six colors and in packs of two, four and eight). It works on all floor types, but is *especially* great on carpet. *And* it has a built-in squeegee great for cleaning up spills on hard surfaces. Promising review: "This thing is amazing!!! Great for area rugs, carpets, and bare floors. To say I hate sweeping is an understatement, dog hair is always floating away from the pile. This rubber broom is a game-changer, with two labs I always have dog hair to be swept up and this gets the job done without hair floating away. It creates easy-to-sweep-up piles of dirt and dog hair. Seriously just buy it, you won’t regret it." —Trista Tozier Get it from Amazon for $17.01+ (available in six other types/styles). It's recommended for children between 8 and 45 pounds and can be used in four different holding positions — feeding/breastfeeding, side carrying, front facing, and face-to-face. Tushbaby is a woman-owned small business that has been featured on SharkTank. Promising review: "This has been one of MANY items I have purchased thanks to TikTok, and I'm glad I did. Super easy to use, easy to adjust, and most importantly, it helps with support tremendously. It comes with pockets and a place to hold bottles/sippy cups, which can be very handy. My 8-month-old weighs around 30–35lbs, and he's basically attached to me 24/7. Carrying him all day was killing my back and arms! Thank God for this invention, my arms and back can rest." —Jennifer Calle Get it from Amazon for $63.74+ (available in three colors). Promising review: "I upgraded from the 1st-Gen AirPods Pro, and all I can say is wow. These are on another level. The sound quality is a significant improvement — richer, clearer, and more immersive. The fit is super comfortable, and the noise cancellation is noticeably improved. What really blows me away is how seamlessly they switch between my iPhone, MacBook, and work laptop. The connection is instant every time — no fumbling, no delays. Simply put, these are phenomenal. I absolutely love these AirPods and can’t imagine going back." —Paul A. You can also use it on your coat pockets! Promising reviews: "Best invention! I purchased after seeing it in a TikTok video, and it works soooo well in my purse." —Wenhether "This little ball is genius!! Rolls around in my purse, which I live out of. It picks up a lot of lint, debris, or even crumbs. Easy to find with the bright pink. Just remove and wash and it’s ready to go again. The price was great and something I can use for years. If you live out of your purse this a must-have!!" —dj3biggs Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in five colors and in packs of three). Promising reviews: "I absolutely love this product. Now I’m able to light candles where the candle wax has melted down, and it’s hard to reach inside the jar. I also love the fact that you charge this with a USB cable, and the charge lasts for a long time. It has indicator lights to let you know how much of a charge is remaining. I’ve only had to charge it once since I purchased it. It is very durable and a great value for the price. I definitely recommend this." —Cassandra S. "Another product I got from TikTok. It’s a necessity. No more struggling and almost burning yourself. Stays charged for days. A week at most if you use it frequently." —Nijada Get it from Amazon for $13.28+ (available in nine colors and in single color or multi color packs of two). BuzzFeed Shopping writer, Emma Lord, recommends these *very* highly: "I have been buying a new set of these every year since 2020, and they have kept my VERY blister- and chafing-prone feet snug and moisture-wicked on every single long run. They've essentially phased out any of my other socks, because they're extremely comfortable to boot. As a runner who often clocks in 25+ miles a week and often in some "yikes!" summer heat, I cannot recommend these socks enough." Promising review: "These socks are designed perfectly for running socks. The bottoms and toes are thick, the tops are thin, the lower heel is reinforced, the heel top has a tab that provides extra cushion on the Achilles where some shoes like to wear into you. The size is true to fit. I've purchased many packs of these and they are the best I've tried." —SmokeyBear Get a pack of six from Amazon for $12.74+ (available in nine color combos and sizes S–XL).
